How
This fiction is made for general audience although some have adult content. some literary critics see this form of emergent fiction as a fad while others see it as the way might take place.
Why
Group member Raquel De Jesus mentioned that she has various friends who publish on their blogs, so we found it interesting to investigate and compare types and variations between this new kind of emergent fiction to see what we could find.
Examples
Raquel De Jesus: Title: Amendederzeit Author: Wilfredo Rifas Year: 2013 (Story still in progress) Summary: This story is about the holy war that takes place in different time periods between the templars and the masons. it starts off in jerusalem where a holy war between the "Poor knights of the cross" are batteling the muslims. thease knights are comissioned by the catholic church which later tresons them by not sending reinforcments for the battle. their leader rodiart has a mistical experience witha deidity called Orisha. This deidity gives him the powers of harmony. Rodiart then proclaims them as the templars. The story then fast forwards to a future time after the rapture when those who have harmony powers are left behind to form a new civilizacion under the masons who use sklavery to control mankind. Nii a man who poseses the powers of harmony befreinds balance a young girl with the face of a monster who must help him defeat the masons using his orisha powers. Thing that i most liked: Were the fantastic and mystic elements, This blog Is written as a story but it could also be acted out as a play.

Title: Faint but pursuing Author: Bernita Year: 2010 http://bernitaharris.blogspot.com/ Summary:
The of a woman who receives a particular gift from her friend. She begins identifying some relevant activities of her , such as the numerous email she must erase as well as the strange phrases that would pass though her mind. The text jumps back and forth between these two subjects. The thing that i most liked was:
I enjoyed this story best because it has a very attractive introduction; it mixes well the rational with the irrational. In her parallel world there are diverse actions, which unravel in a random form.In the context of the story she introduced events of her daily life, of which she provides detail in illogical forms. At the end you can perceive a melancholic woman who enjoys memories.

Summary:
The story is about an old man, who is a musician, who's climbing a hill to get to an old stone seat. He describes everything around him from what he has on his hand all the way to the sea across the valley. He said he has his old wooden flute on his hand. Later he remembers his love and that she played the violin. Then he start comparing every nature sound with music. When he gets to the seat he said that he can hear the music all around him. Then he uses his last breath to paly his flute. At the end we can infer he dies because he said he was reunited with his love.
The thing I liked the most:
What I liked the most about this story is the way the author compares the nature's sound with the sound of the music and how the author uses the music and the term "reunited" to let us know that the character died.
